The Black Tower

If you have Netflix, you need to watch it. And if you're a fan of her work on Doctor Who, yeah. She's great. I love her. Go watch it.

Okay, have a few points I am already handing out for this month but still want to award the rest so first person to guess my plans for this evening will win 10 points from me.

So the end of the month is approaching quickly, and I still have at least 10 points to give out. As usual, if you can make me laugh, points are yours. I except jokes, pictures, etc. Also feel free to spam because hey, it's the Black Tower.

BT is more active now than in a long time but there are fewer that have signed in the roll call thread. If you haven´t posted there yet, do so. (But only once/person.) Oh, and please spam this thread. That way more people might see it.

Here's a test to check your taintyness. And beware if you don't answer and complain about it because I am in an angry mood as my computer crashes after few minutes. Answer the questions here or PM them to me. 1. Have you experienced Taintiness? a) What are you asking? I live with it every moment of my life b) I have had it now and then c) Don't know what you are talking about >.> d) <your own answer> 2.

Hey everyone. I'm still on book 5 (just over halfway through actually) and I couldn't think of another place to post my thoughts as I read (hah, as if anyone cares) so I thought why not hear, where the other paranoid, nutty people reside =P I was reading the TV tropes page for WOT and I stumbled across this entry. It makes me feel like I'm gonna hate book 13. "God Mode Sue: Deconstructed/subverted/inverted with Rand for most of the series, especially books 6-12. He's powerful as all hell, but deeply flawed in some of his methods and reasoning. At the end of book 12, he got better and spends most of book 13 playing this more or less straight, though a large part of…

Apparently some legitimate complaints from people on holiday: 1. "I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local convenience store does not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts." 2. "It's lazy of the local shopkeepers in Puerto Vallarta to close in the afternoons. I often needed to buy things during 'siesta' time -- this should be banned." 3. "On my holiday to Goa in India , I was disgusted to find that almost every restaurant served curry. I don't like spicy food." 4. "We booked an excursion to a water park but no-one told us we had to bring our own swimsuits and towels. We assumed it would be included in the price." 5. "The …

You may have heard of our Dutch tradition of Saint Nicholas, at the 5th of December. It's a national holiday, where people give presents to one another and such things. A bit like Christmas in most countries (and some here do both). Now, in this tradition is too (as you may even have heard in the news recently; there's quite a lot of fuzz about it) Black Pete, the helper of Saint Nicholas. Now, I am pretty sure it is nowhere in the tradition that he's a slave, but apparently there are some people in the Netherlands that think that he - a core part of the tradition - should be forbidden because of racism, which is total - and I'll shorten this word up because I'm not a…

Welcome to the BT, lonewolfshifter! Is that Loney, Wolfy or maybe Shifty? Hm... Whatever. Tell us all about yourself. For how long have you been reading WoT? Do you have a favourite asha´man? When did you first realise that you love cow mutants? People will soon show up and fill your basket with brownies. I have the feeling that you are already pre-tainted but be sure not to eat too many at ones. You will soon be added to our other boards. *locks the gate*

I need a way to get my points out, so I'll do it like this: I made a list of numbers, ranging from 0-20 at random (or as random as the human mind can be...). The first one to guess the number (one number per post, double posting not allowed, but no need to wait for me) gains 1 point. Once the number is guessed (every time I check this thread I'll say which number(s) is/are correct), a new "round" starts, with the same range, and all numbers in again, so if you guessed a number guessed since the last time I checked, it might still be correct, because a number in between might have been correct. There are 14 rounds, as I have 14 points still to give out. *goes off t…

Okay, so I am doing an experiment with the Black Tower. First, I need someone to give me a point. *nods*

The Tower was dark, darker than the Pit on a starless night. As the people in the black coats gathered around the entrance, not a one of them dared to light a torch, for that would given away their position and shown that something wasn't right. They had all gathered here for a reason, and one reason only. And that was because they were unsatisfied with how the Tower was being ran and tired of The Dragon's lackeys. Shadows and mist covered all of their faces, to further protect themselves from each other in case of any traitors. As the last of the group trickled in one person boldly strode to the front of the group. It seemed that this was the one who gathered them all he…
